  • the dial 11 is inserted into the central portion of the knob guard 12 in a direction inserted from a rear surface to a front surface.
  • the lamp window insertion grooves 14 are formed to have a certain interval therebetween.
  • Several washing conditions are respectively printed on the control panel 15 on an outer circumferential surface of the knob guard 12 , at points corresponding to the lamp windows 13 . Lamps are mounted at rear surfaces of the lamp windows 13 , such that light of the lamps can be emitted through the lamp windows 13 .

  • the main body and the knob deco can achieve a similar feel of a material and an aesthetic effect.
  • the lamp window shielding member is smaller than the lamp window when being seen from the front side of the knob guard. Accordingly, light can be leaked between the lamp window shielding member and the lamp window.
  • the lamp window shielding member is configured as a pin which penetrates through the lamp window or as a sheet partially inserted in the lamp window.
  • the lamp window shielding member outwardly protrudes further than the lamp window, which thusly enhances a user's tactile sensation.

  • the lamp window shielding member is fixed thereto by using a vacuum adsorption or magnet.
  • the lamp window shielding member is formed of 400-series stainless steel, which is because the 400-series stainless steel among others is attracted to the magnet.
  • a laundry machine includes a dial knob for inputting an operation condition of the laundry machine in a rotational manner, the knob deco having described above, and a control panel having the dial knob and the knob deco disposed thereat for allowing the input of the operation condition or a display of a operational state.
